Southern Eggs Benedict

Last weekend we ate nothing but southern food, while we celebrated all weekend long.  One of our breakfasts was eggs benedict with a southern twist.  We had never made eggs benedict before this, but we'll be making it again!  Our version, with a cornbread base, is the best we've ever had.

We made buttermilk cornbread using this recipe.  We then cut out two squares and halved them like you would a bun:




We topped this with butcher cut back bacon:

And soft poached eggs:

We then covered this in a southern hollandaise sauce:

Wow.  Perfection.

I'm going to need this breakfast again very soon.

Do you like eggs benedict?  

Have you ever had it with a cornbread base?  

(If not, you must try it - way better than with an English muffin)
